Mounting the Module on the Modicon M580 Rack
Original instructions
About us
Introduction
The BMENOR2200H module has a dual-bus connector that supports both Ethernet and X Bus communications.
Use these instructions to install the module in a single slot on a BMEXBP Ethernet backplane.
Before You Begin
WARNING
MODULE DESTRUCTION – LOSS OF APPLICATION
  • Disconnect all power to the rack before installing the BMENOR2200H module.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Take these steps before you insert the module on the rack:
Backplane Considerations
Install the module only on the local rack. You can install and configure a maximum of four communication modules (including BMENOR2200H modules) on a single local rack (depending on the selected CPU).
This table shows the maximum number of BMENOR2200H modules you can install in the local rack with respect to specific CPU references:
CPU
BMENOR2200H
BMEP582020

NOTE: Refer to the CPU selection table in the Modicon M580 Standalone, System Planning Guide for Frequently Used Architectures.
Install the module in a dual-bus slot on one of the following Ethernet backplanes:
Backplane

BMEXBP0400(H)
4-slot Ethernet backplane
BMEXBP0800(H)
8-slot Ethernet backplane
BMEXBP1200(H)

Rack and Slot Restrictions
The module occupies a single dual-bus slot. Observe these restrictions:
Rack
Slot
Instruction
all racks
0, 1
Do not insert the BMENOR2200H module in these slots.
NOTE: These slots are reserved for the CPU module.
BMEXBP1200(H)
2, 8, 10, 11
These X Bus-only slots do not support the Ethernet functionality of the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module.

extended racks
—
You cannot install the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module in an extended rack.
NOTE: Extended racks do not have Ethernet ports.
RIO drops
—
You cannot install the dual-bus BMENOR2200H module in an RIO drop.
Cyber Security Switch Considerations
NOTICE
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Do not switch from the non-secure configuration (Standard) directly to the secure configuration (Secured) or vice-versa.
  • Always power up the module with the rotary switch in the Reset position when you transition between the Standard and Secured modes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Follow these steps every time you insert a BMENOR2200H module on a powered rack:
Step
Action
1
Set the rotary switch on the module to the Reset position.
2
Insert the module in the rack to power it up.
3
Remove the module from the rack to power it down.
4
Set the rotary switch on the module to the Secured or Standard position.
5
Reinsert the module in the rack to power it up.
Installing the Module on the Rack
Mount the module in a single slot on the backplane:
Step
Action
1
Turn off the power supply to the rack.
2
Remove the protective cover from the module interface on the rack.
3
Configure the cyber security level for the module with the rotary switch according to the cyber security considerations (above).
4
Notice sub-steps a. and b. in the graphic:
a. Insert the locating pins on the bottom of the module into the corresponding slots in the rack. b. Use the locating pins as a hinge and pivot the module until it is flush with the rack. (The twin connector on the back of the module inserts into the connectors on the rack.)
NOTE: Do not insert the BMENOR2200H module in slot 0 or 1 in the local rack. Those slots are reserved for the CPU.
5
Tighten the retaining screw to hold the module in place on the rack:
NOTE: Tightening torque: 0.4...1.5 N•m (0.30...1.10 lbf-ft).
Replacing a Module
NOTICE
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Do not switch from the non-secure configuration (Standard) directly to the secure configuration (Secured) or vice-versa.
  • Always power up the module with the rotary switch in the Reset position when you transition between the Standard and Secured modes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Any module on the rack can be hot-swapped at any time with another module with compatible firmware. The replacement module obtains its operating parameters over the backplane connection from the CPU. The transfer occurs immediately at the next cycle to the device.
When you switch from secure to non-secure operations or vice-versa, reset the module by setting the rotary switch to the Reset position to implement a clean configuration file and clear the security settings (including the user name and password).
We suggest that you export your cyber security configuration before you replace the module. When the rotary switch is set to the factory Reset mode, the entire cyber secure configuration is erased.
Replace the module:
Step
Action
1
Remove the module from the rack by reversing the above steps for installing the module.
NOTE: Because this is a hot-swappable module, it is not necessary to power down the rack to remove the module.
2
Set the rotary switch on the replacement module to the Reset position.
3
Insert the replacement module in the rack to power it up.
4
Remove the replacement module from the rack to power it down.
5
Set the rotary switch on the replacement module to the Secured or Standard position.
6
Reinsert the replacement module in the rack to power it up.
NOTE: The replacement module does not automatically recover the security settings from the web-based configuration. The security configuration file is stored locally in the module. Export this file to create a backup configuration.
